Become a Volunteer/Intern
Preserving High Point’s history is a big
job, and the Museum relies upon volunteers and interns
for help.
A number of opportunities are available, which are
suited to meet a variety of interests and
personalities.
All Museum volunteers go through a free
general orientation to the Museum and volunteer
program. Additional training will then take place based
on a volunteer’s interest area; the length of this
specialized training varies.
Volunteer hours for some positions are
more flexible than others. While many volunteers prefer
to have a set time to come in, others prefer to keep
their schedules open. There are different volunteer
positions available to meet both of these preferences.
The High Point Museum also welcomes the
opportunity to nurture future museum professionals. We
offer credit and non-credit unpaid internships to high
school, college, and graduate students interested in
exploring a Museum career.
Volunteer and internship opportunities
exist year-round in the Collections, Education, and
Membership departments as well as our Museum Store. No
matter what your interest, the Museum will work with you
to create a rewarding experience. To ensure this, all
volunteers/interns have a staff resource with whom they
will work and communicate on a regular basis allowing an
opportunity for any questions or concerns to be
addressed. Contact Us
Learn More or
print an application and drop it off at the Museum.
